The philosophic study of the first principles of moral conduct, which are meant to order mans life and actions toward happiness and, at last, to everlasting life. Ethics is the philosophic science which reasons to the norms necessary to guide human actions toward the goal of human life. It then applies these norms, which we call moral or ethical principles, to the governing of the family, which is called economy in the philosophic sense and then to the governing of society, which is called politics.
